Savage war engulfs the world
... civilization is destroyed. An evolution had taken place. The earth's
axis shifted and all creatures became mutated. Life would never be the
same. Those surviving vowed not to repeat their mistakes of the past and
erected a great tower in the sky to oppress evil forever...

OK, so maybe the apocolypse date was
a little off, but this is still an awesome game. Some call it the best
RPG of the NES era. It's kind of a mix of Zelda and Startropics, and a
little bit of Dragon Warrior sandwiched in the middle. You awaken from
your cryogenic chamber to find that you must save this post-apocolypstic
world from all the monsters.No deluxe features have been announced yet,
but they may want to change that "end of the world" date. With all this
foolish hoopla going around about the end of the world, this game would
make a perfect comeback in 1999.
